Filmmakers, submit your work to the 36th Northwest Film & Video Festival, presented by the Northwest Film Center.
Entry deadline is Saturday August 1, 2009
Festival runs November 6-14, 2009
The Northwest Film & Video Festival is the most venerable and comprehensive showcase of outstanding work made by filmmakers living in the region.
Entries are judged by a prominent filmmaker, curator or critic who determines the Festival awards. Past judges have included Gus Van Sant, Matt Groening, Todd Haynes, Kelly Reichardt, Christine Vachon, Bill Plympton, and, Sundance and Outfest programmer, John Cooper.
Generally, 30-45 shorts, features and documentaries are screened during the Festival, then 10-15 shorts are selected for the Best of the Northwest Tour program, which travels the following year throughout the Northwest to media arts centers, museums, arts councils and universities. Filmmakers are also eligible for over $15,000 of Production Service Awards provided by sponsoring companies with valuable production resources.
Permanent residents of Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington may submit two works of any length or genre released since August 1, 2007 and not previously entered in the Festival. Student entries (college and university only) must be from a school located in the Northwest.
